I recommend Arkeia <http://www.arkeia.com>.  The server version is developed on
Linux, for Linux.  They have full DR/BMR (for Linux currently, but will have
Windows shortly) and it is fast and inexpensive.  It is free for very small
networks.  I've used it previously with +100 Linux servers.  They can backup
Windows and most everything else as well, but the server generally runs on
Linux.
